Experimental Treatment

Group I: Remote exercise intervention Down syndromeExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Intervention: The program we will be using is specifically developed for individuals with Down syndrome based on the Mann Method PT Principles. The MMPT Principles TM focus on a progressive program of therapeutic activity (cardiovascular activity), therapeutic exercise (foundational strengthening and hip strengthening activities), and neuromuscular rehabilitation (visual/vestibular and balance activities) to address the unique needs of individuals with Down syndrome. This program has been developed and successfully implemented in Down syndrome activity centers across the country. This program will be offered through Zoom. Intensity will be submaximal for both data collection and during the exercise sessions, and recorded with Polar heart rate monitors.
